It wouldn\u2019t be at all surprising that Real\u00a0Madrid supporters would take the signing of Harry Kane over the return of Cristiano Ronaldo in a heartbeat, but neither the 27-year-old England captain nor the 36-year-old are being seen as viable options this summer.<\/p>\n
Kane had been billed as the ‘cheap’ option by Spanish radio on Tuesday. However, despite not being backed by the likes of a Mino Raiola-like super agent to inflate his value when signing on the dotted line, the dazzling Spurs striker does indeed have Daniel Levy for a chairman and a solid contract until 2024.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid supremo Florentino Perez has long been an ardent admirer but serious interest waned when Kane signed a six-year deal worth a basic salary of \u00a3200,000 a week in 2018 – a move that smacked of a Messi-like one-club career maneuver.<\/p>\n
In the recent scenario, Madrid’s interest is likely sparked by a change of heart from Kane but the latter\u2019s contractual situation would still leave any transfer as near impossible, with this option also not a match for plan A which banks heavily on the hope that Kylian Mbappe runs down his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n
Ronaldo’s touted return meanwhile hit the headlines on Tuesday when Gareth Bale announced his intention of returning to Madrid in the summer.<\/p>\n
